"Our task is not to fight old battles, but to show that there is a third way, a way of marrying together an open competitive society and successful economy with a just and decent society."
"I think we are all trying to adapt our countries to this global economy—a global society—to reap the benefits of it, but to keep a human face on it."
Third Way
is a
centrist ideology that combines stances from
Neoliberalism and
Social Liberalism.[13][Note 7] Policies favored by Third Way advocates fluctuate based on
political/economic circumstances and leadership attitudes. Third Way advocates mostly pursue and advocate for
private-public partnerships,
commercialization,
a moderate welfare state,
balanced budgets,
free trade,
closer transatlantic relations,
deregulation, and (sometimes, but not always)
union busting &
welfare cuts while still maintaining a
left-wing aesthetic.[Note 8] Advocacy for this ideology arose during the oil crisis of the 1970s & through the presidencies/premierships of various
conservative neoliberal administrations of the 1980s and 1990s in which Keynesianism's popularity declined and neoliberal thinkers like
Milton Friedman throughly challenged
government meddling in the economy and the previous keynesian economic consensus, leading to many on the left seeing a need to combine neoliberalism with
progressive values to stay politically up to date with the new neoliberal economic consensus.
History
The modern understanding of Third Way politics was popularized in the 1990s by Anthony Giddens, who wrote a series of books detailing the qualities of the Third Way. He called for a re-evaluation of policies from both progressive and
conservative
parties. The ideology became popular in many western countries, including the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Mainland Europe. The most notable advocates for Third Way are former
American president
Bill Clinton and former
UK prime minister
Tony Blair, who both supported its ideas while in office during the 1990s and early 2000s
United Kingdom ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/8/8d/New_Labourism.png)
In the 90s, the concept of the "Third Way" was first thought up by Anthony Gidden. Originally intended to be a rebranded version of
Social Democracy, as well as an alternative to traditional forms of
Socialism and
Capitalism. The
Labour Party, after 4 consecutive election losses to the
Tory Party, decided to adopt
Gidden's idea of the "Third Way" under the leadership of
Tony Blair and rebranded itself as "New Labour". Blair moved the party to the
right, embracing most of
Margaret Thatcher's polices. Blair went on to beat the
Tories in a landslide in 1997, being the first
Labour leader to be PM in 18 years. After his involvement in the Iraq War in 2003, Blair's premiership became increasingly unpopular with the public. He resigned in 2007 and was replaced with
Gordan Brown, who was nearly identical to Blair in policy but differed interpersonally. Brown lost in a landslide against the
Tories under
David Cameron in 2010. His replacement,
Ed Miliband was slightly to the left of him and Blair, but still compromised on issues like austerity. In 2015,
Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the
Labour Party and his victory was seen as a rejection of the
Blairite establishment and the party finally moving back to the
left. Corbyn rid Labour of most of its Third Way influence but due to Corbyn's silence on Anti Semitism within the Labour Party, he was ousted by
Keir Starmer. Although giving him initial praise for making Labour the party of Anti Austerity, Starmer would later condemn Corbyn for his perceived unelectability and anti-semitism, removing him and many of his supporters from the party. Starmer’s platform has been seen as
reconciling the policies of One-Nation Labour and Blairism, and has certainly taken influence from the Third Way- with Starmer himself describing it as ‘
New Labour on steroids’. However, others have claimed that Starmer is much further left than Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, pointing out his
regulationist ‘Securonomics’ programme and previous membership of Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet.
One Nation Labour
One Nation Labour is an economically and culturally centre-left ideology based on the views and policies of former Labour leader
Ed Miliband. It is a rebranded form of
New Labour that takes influence from the idea of
One-Nation Conservatism and the policies of
Blue Labour, and combines them with New Labour's centrist stance. It also takes a few more
patriotic stances, specifically on immigration.
United States ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/e/e0/NewDem.png)
In the mid 80s, the New Democrat Coalition faction of the
Democratic Party first appeared, emerging after the landslide victories by president
Ronald Reagan. Instead of continuing with the more left-leaning direction the party had taken since
FDR, this new group embraced Reagan's economic reforms with more of an emphasis on
progressive values, due to feeling that the party was becoming out of touch on economic issues.
Bill Clinton became the first New Democrat to win the presidency in 1992, with the New Democrat Coalitioners becoming the dominant faction in the party since.
Barack Obama, in a meeting with the New Democrat Coalition, said he was a New Democrat Coalitioner.
Hillary Clinton ran for president in 2016 as a New Democrat Coalitioner, but lost. During the presidency of
Donald Trump, many
Moderates in the
Republican Party swapped to the New Democrat Coalition.
Joe Biden, one of the first New Democrat Coalitioner, won the American presidency in 2020.

Seeheimer Kreis ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/9/9a/SeeheimerKreis.png)
The Seeheimer Kreis (Seeheim Circle) is a major, economically somewhat more right-leaning faction within the SPD. Its origins can be traced back to the "canal workers", a relatively loose, informal, yet also influential group of SPD delegates that came into existence during the early 50s. Starting in the 60s, the group would start to hold its first annual formal meetings, a tradition that still lasts to this day. In the meantime, the group would become known as the "Seeheimer Kreis" for the first time in its history, and also grow more cohesive. Its namesake lies in a town in southwestern Germany, which was where the canal workers held most of their aforementioned meetings.
Members of the Seeheimer Kreis are known to pride themselves on their pragmatism and "anti-dogmatism". Some observers also refer to the party as the SPD's right-wing While they supported raising the minimum wage to 12 euros per hour, they also hold some economically right-leaning stances, such as aiming to reduce national debt before fleshing out the social security system.
France ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/2/23/Macron.png)
One of the most notable proponents of Third Way politics in France is current president Emmanuel Macron and his party "La République En Marche!". The party was founded with a goal to "modernise and moralise" French politics, and would go on to win in a landslide against Right-Wing candidate
Marine Le Pen in the 2017 election. Politicians also associated with Third Way politics include former president François Hollande and former prime minister Manuel Valls.
Romania ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/2/2e/PSD.png)
Iliescuism
- Ion Iliescu is a Romanian politician and engineer, the founder of the
Social Democratic Party, who served as President of Romania from 1989 to 1996 and from 2000 to 2004. Iliescu rose to prominence during the
communist era when he joined the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) in 1953 and became a member of its Central Committee in 1965. He was eventually marginalized by dictator
Nicolae Ceaușescu and eventually came to play a leading role in the Romanian Revolution during the fall of communism.
After the overthrow of Ceaușescu in December 1989, Ion Iliescu was recognized as the co-leader leader of the National Salvation Front (FSN) an organization formed by second-rank Communist party members opposed to the policies of Ceaușescu to fill in the power vacuum caused by the fall of the dictator and lead the transition to parliamentary democracy. In recent times Iliescu has been accused of committing crimes against humanity by approving deadly militaristic measures against civilians during the aftermath of the Romanian Revolution.
In 2004, during Iliescu's second presidency, Romania joined NATO and has taken part in the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War with boots-on-the-ground troops in both wars.
Australia ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/3/35/AusModel.png)
Third Way in Australia largely takes the form of Economic Rationalism, which was a movement with in the
Labor Party lead by
Bob Hawke. It shifted the formally
social democratic ALP to more market based solutions. WIP

Trudeau Liberalism
Trudeau Liberalism is the ideology representing the current prime minister of
Canada Justin Trudeau. He has been the leader of the Liberal Party since 2013 and was elected to his position in 2015. In many ways he could be seen as the spiritual successor to his father
Pierre Trudeau, who famously legalized
homosexuality
Under his watch, Justin Trudeau has aggressively pushed for public-private
partnerships; he established the
Canada Infrastructure Bank to generate revenue through P3 projects. Trudeau has been a strong advocate for
federal
state-owned enterprises (Crowned corporations). He has tried to
balance the budget by raising taxes, signed the
Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, boosted funds for scientific research, bailed out
businesses of perceived strategic importance (e.g., dairy manufacturing companies), and imposed a
carbon tax which funds a dividend for each Canadian. He has also appointed business leaders to positions of political power.
He has attracted controversy and praise for his record on civil liberties. He has banned assault weapons and restricted handgun ownership; criminalized
conversion therapy; legalized
marijuana and
euthanasia; fought to keep
abortion legal; appointed a gender-balanced cabinet; and he cracked down on the
trucker's convoy (a wildcat strike in response to COVID-19 lockdown measures) using the
Canadian military.
While he often portrays himself as an advocate for indigenous rights and representation, the First Nations community dislikes him for his policies. For instance: He is largely regarded as being responsible for the "illegal" occupying of "unceded" territories of the Wetʼsuwetʼen indigenous nation, leading to the 2020 Canadian pipeline and railway protests between indigenous activists and the Royal Mounted Police. An act many advocates consider to be by its very nature
"imperialistic".
Because of his reputation as a pink/green washing virtue signaller—he self-identifies with progressive causes or movements while supporting policies which allegedly harm minorities—along with his reputed
authoritarian tendencies, he is often stereotyped on Polcompball as an unironic
state liberal, alongside the Liberal Party more generally.
Overall
As the political situation is different, there is a difference in the interpretation of the third way by each country. Although each country does not explicitly advocate a “third way,” one commonality can be found:
This Third way (left-wing regimes) have largely embraced neoliberalism since the 1980s, denying the existing excessive welfare policies, and claiming a new "radical" center course, breaking away from socialist ideology.
The left, which has represented the working class, sets the new middle class as a political base and attempts to change as the living standards of the working class improve and the scope expands.
Variants
Third Way Social Democracy
Third Way Social Democracy is a centrist to centre left ideology that stems from Social Democracy however accepts a neoliberal consensus with opponents. Such as support for the European Union, less restrictions on trade, cutting regulations and tax cuts, however they still come from a working class base and are often propped up by trade unions and have socialist traditions which sometimes they shine through all the compromise.
Third Way Liberalism
Third Way Liberalism is a centre-left to centre-right ideology that combines stances from Social Liberalism and
Neoliberalism. Historically they favored introduction of workfare, cutting regulations, free trade, and a general disdain for socialistic policies. Their support, like most liberal ideologies, comes from the middle class which makes the ideology popular with a majority of citizens in the western world.
Progressive Hawk ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/a/a9/ProgHawk.png)
Progressive Hawkism is in reference towards people who support progressive social policies with an
interventionist foreign policy. Progressive hawks differ from
liberal hawks in the sense of how progressive their social policies are, as liberal hawks are usually
center-left, while progressive hawks are
left-wing. As well in economics, as liberal hawks will usually be
centrist, while progressive hawks will either be
center-left or
left-wing.
Social Hawk
Social Hawkism is a centrist to centre-left ideology that combines Neoconservatism with
Welfarism. Unlike other hawks who advocate for
Fiscal Conservatism, Social Hawks instead advocate for some (or more) amount of wealth redistribution and government spending coupled with an hawkish, interventionist foreign policy.
Beliefs
The Third Way is a form of Radical Centrism. Third Way interpreter
Anthony Giddens in his books Beyond the Left and Right and Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy talks about
Neoliberalism, and how its key tenants—such as
welfare cuts,
global trade,
balanced budgets—were not only popular but valid aspirations. But still seeing merit in
social justice and noticing the nasty side-effects of Thatcher and Reagan's economic policies (e.g., lower social trust and excessive inequality), Giddens proposes making neoliberalism more
humane through:
- A "social investment state" which helps people climb the
social ladder through workforce development and education, rather than handouts.
- Preserving
progressive taxation so the general population feels the gains of free market while reducing inequality.
- Making economic and political institutions more inclusive (and therefore egalitarian).[Note 9]
Economics
Third Way economics can be best characterized as a combination of Neoliberalism and
Social Capitalism. Advocates embrace some key tenants of neoliberalism: lax tax polices and regulation, free trade, budget balancing, public-private partnerships, and market-based solutions to societal problems; but it also calls for a
moderate welfare state, with programs they favor ranging from workfare (where one must perform labor to keep their benefits) to a
universal basic income/
negative income tax. As such, Third Way agrees with the center-right on free markets, but also agrees with the center-left on reducing inequality and poverty through redistributive means. This ideology can be seen as the spiritual successor to
Ordo-Liberalism.
Trade Policy
An area of disagreement among Third Way advocates is on free trade. While most proponents see globalization as both inevitable and desirable,
Anthony Giddens noted that it has many horrible consequences which could seriously backfire in Third Way: A Renewal of Social Democracy, citing how free trade negatively impacts the working poor who find themselves entering a low-wage service sector after losing out to foreign competition. In response to
political realities—like national security concerns over
China, pandering to
blue-collar workers, and satisfying
corporate interests—Third Way leaders like Barack Obama and Gerhard Schröder have implemented
protectionist policies. Hillary Clinton, still praising the economic achievements of her husband, also embraced many protectionist policies as a nod to her corporate backers and to win over
Trump supporters.
It should be noted that most Third Way advocates are strong supporters of free trade. Usually their solution to the inhumane consequences is to push for job training or improved safety nets. Protectionism, however, has proven to be an effective political strategy in countries like the United States and
Germany. The former has a centuries-long history of favoring protectionist measures while the latter is an export-oriented economy, meaning a trade deficit could spell serious losses for the general population.
Welfare
Foreign Policy
Proponents of the Third Way have been known to take a generally interventionist foreign policy and have made several alliances with Neoconservatism. Most infamous example being when
Tony Blair allied with
George W. Bush to invade Iraq in 2003.
Another example is the German Green Party, which holds broadly transatlanticist and pro-NATO stances on diplomacy. It follows what it dubs a "foreign policy to protect human rights", manifested in their hawkish stance on autocratic regimes such as Russia and China. Current German foreign minister
Annalena Baerbock has stated in the past that military intervention is sometimes necessary in order to save human lives.
The most infamous example of military intervention by the Greens is that of 1999, when the foreign minister Joschka Fischer decided to deploy German troops in Kosovo, thus marking the first time since WW2 that German troops have been involved in a foreign war. This action made Fischer receive high amounts of criticism, particularly from the contemporary
red-green coalition as well as
the opposition, the former of which having felt left behind in the decision making process.
Criticism
Some leftists still argue that even if the equality of labor and educational opportunities (which is proposed as a welfare policy) provides opportunities for everyone, it is difficult to guarantee "actual equality" because the situation after that (employment, startup etc..) is left to one's ability.[14]
Personality
Third Way likes regulated capitalism, military interventions (sometimes), and liberalism. He is a liberal military interventionist and likes to call himself a centrist. Third Way was the ideology of former U.S. Presidents, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama. He largely acts like a "pink" version of Neoconservatism.
He was also the ideology of former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair and of Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

Credit: OzymndiasFR, Third Way is used as the Ideology of Justin Trudeau.
-
-
Notes
- ↑ Carl Bildt generally sided with the Democrats such as Clinton, Obama, and Biden in US elections, despise populism and traditionalism. He also reformed and privatized the Swedish welfare state without abolishing it.
- ↑ Since the 1990s, Hillary has identified as a progressive, in reference to the original movements of the late 19th and early 20th century. It is likely she is referring to a form of social liberalism without the alleged negative connotations.
- ↑ Obama has attempted to minimize the perceivably inhumane effects of free trade (e.g., deindustrialization) by creating tax incentives to "keep American jobs at home" and writing enviornmental and labor protections into free trade agreements; meanwhile slapping tariffs to counter "unfair Chinese foreign competition". Despite this, Obama has denied being a protectionist.
- ↑ Edi Rama speaks highly of British culture, values, and leaders, including Tony Blair (whom he claims inspired his ideological beliefs)Margaret Thatcher. This is in spite of his current feud with the British government over Albanian immigration and crime.
- ↑ Trudeau supports criminalization of hate speech and misgendering, pushed Internet censorship of conservatives and imposed diversity quotas on corporations.
- ↑ Trudeau's use of military action to bust a wildcat strike (the trucker's convoy in 2022) can be seen as an act of strike busting.
- ↑ For this reason, authoritarian regimes like Eduard Shevardnadze, Thaksin Shinawatra, and Milo Djukanovic are considered Third Way, as they blended neoliberal reforms with Keynesian policies and a center-left aesthetic (the last man on that list being a member of a self-proclaimed democratic socialist party).
- ↑ See the Labour Party in New Zealand in the 1980s under financial minister
Roger Douglas and various Third Way PMs after him, for example; while they pursued aggressive deregulation and tax breaks, which made New Zealand one of the most economically free countries in the world, they still nevertheless maintained the social democratic aesthetic of yesteryear.
- ↑ Anthony Giddens believes the terms "equality" and "inclusion" are synonymous, since people being able to participate in a collaborative community makes everyone better off. This relates to the concept of distributive justice.
